NASCAR fans honor America by holding a large flag in the front grandstand prior to the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2021. To do that, speedway officials are working on plans for the next decade and beyond, as Charlotte Motor Speedway continues to try to diversify its offerings and become a year-round entertainment complex. After two Coke 600s in 2020 and 2021 with attendance dramatically impacted by COVID, Charlotte Motor Speedway officials expect a much larger crowd in 2022.
